FinTech Influence: Dividend Portfolio

The objective of the Fintech Influence: Dividend Portfolio is to provide attractive dividend income along with long-term capital appreciation.

This portfolio will invest primarily in large and medium blue-chip companies located in Canada and the United States through common stocks and ETFs.

The dividend goal is to attain more than a 4% yield while also maintaining similar or better performance as the S&P 500.

All holdings are top performers in their industry and have great future prospects for growth.  We put more concentration on companies that have market dominance, higher dividend, and have a history of growing their dividend.

Portfolio Goals and Objectives

Over the long term, we aim to achieve rates of total return that exceed that of a broad market S&P 500 index using a combination of dividend payments and capital growth.

This portfolio does not have a fixed income component and will not hold GICs, Bonds, Options, Metals, or short positions.
